Mida otsib Kesk-Eesti metsade vahel kasvanud tudruk 25 miljoni elanikuga hiigellinnast, kus majad ulatuvad taevani ja tipptunnil muttab metroojaamas terve Eesti elanikkonna suurune inimhulk?Otsus Shanghaisse kolida oli teadlik valik. Tahtsin sukelduda taiesti teistsugusesse keskkonda ja selle endale „kodustada”. Mitte uhte sulada ega shanghaistuda, vaid vaadelda, kogeda ja aktsepteerida, et inimsuhted ja riigikord voivad toimida totaalselt teisiti, kui meie oma matta otsas harjunud oleme.Esialgu plaanitud paariaastane periood Shanghais on markamatult veninud ule kuue aasta pikkuseks ja mahutab hulganisti erilisi elamusi: tootamine EXPO-l, esimese rahvusvahelise konverentsi juhtimine, kaasaloomine maailma korgeimal trepijooksul, lahitutvus kohaliku haiglasusteemiga ja palju muud. Ja koige selle korval olen todenud, et Shanghai on hoolimata suurusest ja eksootilisusest uks turvaline ja sobralik linn.

A first-hand account of China's cultural revolution.A first-hand account of China's cultural revolution. Nien Cheng, an anglophile and fluent English-speaker who worked for Shell in Shanghai under Mao, was put under house arrest by Red Guards in 1966 and subsequently jailed. All attempts to make her confess to the charges of being a British spy failed; all efforts to indoctrinate her were met by a steadfast and fearless refusal to accept the terms offered by her interrogators. When she was released from prison she was told that her daughter had committed suicide. In fact Meiping had been beaten to death by Maoist revolutionaries.

HE WOULD NEVER FORGET…The destruction of the U.S. embassy in Amsterdam had left ex-CIA operative Rafe Sinclair with flashbacks of the unspeakable horrors he'd witnessed that night, and forced him to abandon the job he'd dedicated his life to. His only consolation had been that the terrorist behind the attack was dead–killed by Rafe's own hand.Now, six years later, someone was trying to convince Rafe that the terrorist was alive. And that someone was targeting the one person who could draw Rafe Sinclair back into the game–Elizabeth Richards. Elizabeth and Rafe had once been partners and lovers, and he would give up everything to keep her safe–everything. And it looked as though, this time, that was exactly what it was going to take!
